YaY! Finally 17 years after the original Outrun, Suzuki and his boys are putting out the true sequel for Outrun :)

Now with REAL Ferrari's this time around, I now cant wait to go take on the 5 stages


I bought Shenmue2 so I could get my Outrun fix when Im not up to playing PGR/Sega GT2K2 any given day.


The shots compare the original Outrun to the new Outrun What a BIG difference 17 years has made!

Ooh! I missed that game! The last time I played that game was when it was released for the Sega Master System! Wow!
 
Master System? I thought it was on genesis...oh well.
 
It was 1st released on the arcades way back in 1986 then made its way to the Sega Master System. The Genesis version came out in 89-92 I think so, however there were other dervivates of the Outrun genre that Sega did like Outrun Turbo, Outrunners, and the lamest Outrun game I ever played on the Genesis- :barf: Outrun2019

Also, Outrun, Afterburner, SpaceHarrier and HangOn (all Yu Suzuki/Sega AM-2 designed) were released on Atari XT , Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, the MS-DOS PC,


Outrun was responsible largely for my love of everything Sega.
 
a kick up since Sega annonuced today that Outrun 2 is FINALLY coming to the xbox with xbox Live thrown in!

Also latest is Sega might have a surprise sprung on E3 but Im not saying cuz there are too many rumors flying around concerning this one. Perhaps (a long shot)...... Sega goes back in the hardware business, but I dont really think Sega would even go back after all they lost so much money on hardware.....
 
Hmm... I remember playing this game when it was on the Sega Master System! Boy, I miss those days! *sighs*
 
OMG!!! I never thought that game Outrun video game with .25 cents when I was teenager. OH NO PC?? oh darn. :(

Do you know that you actually have the first Outrun game in your possession..wanna know how to get it on the xbox?

Hint: Look up my first post on this thread ;)
 
oh...*nervous chuckle* that game must've came from the main game "shenmue II"...

I have that game, and I'm stuck on one level where I have to free battle against that big fat bald yellow head bastard on the top of the roof you know?
after I've done battle with him, I have to push <, V, >, Y, etc and even though I kept trying to push them quick enough, I kept having to start over...it's really frustrating and I wish there's some way to skip that you know? but I'll keep trying anyway

*ahem* I hate to burst your bubble but you proably misread sable's post did you?

lol don't worry I did the same also

*hint hint* shenmue II... ;)
 
well let me be clear on the availability of Outrun and Outrun 2:

Outrun 2 is coming to xbox for real, but the release date is ???
Annonucement might be at E3.

the original Outrun is on the Shenmue 2 disc.
 
Hmmm...so OutRun 2 is proably related to Sega's biggest secrets, eh? *rubs chin*
 
Now one of my infamous updates....LOL but anyways...

Last night I picked up a copy of Outrun 2 as the first game I bought since I picked up my xbox last Saturday. I spent about 5 hours playing the thing and I couldn't even put down the controller 'cause it was that more damn addictive than the original 1986 Outrun game that I played on my old Shenmue 2 disc.

The driving physics of the new Outrun is totally wicked! If I slowly pull on the left trigger (brake) at the same time let off the right trigger (gas) I can send the car on a huge powerslide that would totally embarrass Need for Speed Underground. Also there are a lot of nice selection of great Ferraris like the F40, F50, 360 Spider, the Miami Vice car, and the ultimate car, the 2003 Enzo Ferrari.

In addition to the same concept of running through 5 stages with branching roads like the original, there is an additional game called "Heart Attack Arcade" mode in which the player gotta charm Clarissa (one of the three Outrun girls that ride in the passenger seat-one girl each mode of play in the game) with insane stunts like huge long drifts, maintaining a steady speed through curves without letting go of gas, you name it to collect hearts from Clarissa and get better grades from her...lol.

Right now I'm working on the 101 mission mode and boy, the missions get more harder to pull off as I go deep down the traditional stage route map. and the hardest mission IMO has to be the one which I gotta drift the car AND take a picture of a huge heart at the same time! Mission mode is that more insaner than Heart Attack Arcade and traditional Outrun mode.

Hell, I'm gonna give Outrun 2 a nice thumbs up since it lives up to the spirit of the 1986 original.
 
sablescort, will Outrun 2 be on PS2 or only X-box? I didn't keep up with video games for a while now..

only xbox as the arcade version of Outrun 2 uses a xbox-based motherboard called Chihiro. The xbox version was almost a straight port-over from Chihiro by Sumo Digital along with Sega's AM2 boys.....
 
aww. that game looks soo good and I love to play that kind of driving games. Oh well. Other PS2-Driving games will do...

Thanks for responding.
